Southern Cross Catholic College is a Prep to Year 12 day school offering families a co-educatio nal pathway to life-long learning. The College was founded in 1995, following the amalgamation of the Catholic primary and seco ndary schools in the Moreton Bay Region. Today, the multi-campus College operates as the principal Catholic College on the Redcliffe Peninsula.

The College strives to provide each student with a coherent and seamless transition from Prep to Year 12 and maintains a proud record of academic and sporting achievement. Offering a comprehensive education for all students, the uniqueness of the College and diversity of campus locations allows students, and their families, access to facilities unparalleled in Queensland Catholic Education.

Courses & Subjects

The core business of Southern Cross Catholic College is learning. We aim to empower our learners to shape, change and enrich our world and give witness to the Gospel message. The curriculum at the College refers to all the experiences which occur within the school environment. The formal, explicit curriculum is the planned, taught and assessed learning of students, whilst the informal or implicit curriculum is inherent in the relationships, interactions, practices, processes, systems, and structures that surround learning. Southern Cross Catholic College strives to provide all students with a seamless and coherent program of learning from Prep to Year 12. Such a curriculum builds on students’ prior knowledge and experiences, becomes increasingly more complex and abstract, and provides authentic co ntexts for learning as they journey through their schooling. A relevant and meaningful curriculum is future focused and attentive to the needs of today’s youth and their world. It is ba sed on the belief that all students are lifelong learners and each person can achieve success in learning.

Learning communities are outcome oriented as they strive for students to achieve the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to function as active and effective community members. Teachers in the Early Years Phase of Learning (Prep to Year 3) use the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines and the Years 1-10 Key Learning Area Syllabuses (Queensland Studies Authority) that state key and core outcomes across eight learning areas. Teachers ensure all students are provided with multiple opportunities to demo nstrate the outcomes, i.e. what each student knows and can do. The eight key learning areas are; English, Mathematics, Science, Studies of Society and the Enviro nment (SOSE), The Arts, Health and Physical Education, Technology, and Languages other than English (LOTE). At Southern Cross Catholic College the students are also given the opportunity to demo nstrate learning outcomes in Religious Education which fulfil the requirements of Brisbane Catholic Education’s Religious Education Guidelines.

Teachers in the Senior Years Phase of Learning (Years 10-12) plan teaching, learning and assessment experiences for their students ba sed on the QSA Senior Syllabuses. Students may also choose to complete a combination of Authority and Authority-registered subjects which most suits their interests, capabilities, talents and career aspirations. As students progress through to Years 11 and 12, they are co ntinuously assessed in each of their subjects. These assessments are mo nitored by the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA), and at the end of Year 12 the Authority issues a Student Education Profile. In the Vocatio nal Education Course, students have the opportunity to work one day per week in a school-ba sed Traineeship or an Apprenticeship, or, to attend a TAFE course or to do structured Work

Placement or Work Experience in a Vocatio nal area of their choosing. In 2008 students will receive the new Queensland Certificate of Education, providing they meet the stated requirements.

The development of literacy and numeracy skills is foundatio nal to all learning. The achievement and progress of all students is tracked and mo nitored in these areas each year, with o ngoing communication between teachers, support teachers and parents. As a learnercentred College, the changing need of students at different stages in their development is catered for effectively.
